The report is based on verified end-user feedback and highlights solutions that help organizations strengthen identity security, improve privileged access visibility, and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Champions and Their Composite Scores
The following vendors were recognized as Champions in the report:
- Segura – Composite Score (CS) of 9.1, recognized for its Just-in-Time (JIT) Access capabilities.

Addressing Identity-Related Threats
As identity-related threats, hybrid environments, and expanding third-party access heighten enterprise risk, organizations are increasingly investing in PAM solutions to protect critical assets, secure privileged identities, and strengthen access governance. PAM solutions help organizations secure, manage, and monitor privileged accounts and credentials across the enterprise. Capabilities such as credential vaulting, least-privilege enforcement, privileged session management, just-in-time access, password rotation, and centralized auditing help security teams reduce identity-related risks while improving visibility, compliance, and operational control.
Methodology of the Data Quadrant
Info-Tech’s Data Quadrant is a comprehensive software evaluation tool that ranks products based on verified user feedback across key dimensions, including likelihood to recommend, feature rankings, net emotional footprint score, and vendor capabilities. These dimensions are aggregated into a Composite Score (CS), which reflects overall user satisfaction and determines placement within the Data Quadrant. The firm’s methodology ensures that rankings are based entirely on authentic user reviews, free from analyst opinions or vendor influence.
Expert Insight
“Effective privileged access management solutions give organizations greater control over privileged accounts and help security teams safeguard critical systems, enable just-in-time and just-enough access, and reduce the risk of unauthorized activity,” says Carlos Rivera, principal advisory director at Info-Tech Research Group. “As identity-related threats continue to evolve, organizations are prioritizing platforms that combine credential management, visibility, and streamlined access controls to strengthen overall cybersecurity resilience.”
